Thanks for the messages guys, I'm gutted but it's just metal at the end of the day and the more I think about it the more I realise just how lucky I was to walk away, could have been so much worse. Thinking about going a4 next as I've just had another kid and the extra space would be great, if...

unfortunately last night on the way home from work I was very suddenly confronted with a bellend of a bmw fully on the wrong side of road on a blind corner and my faithful much loved a3 tqs sustained fatal front end damage, farewell freind you will be sorely missed. be careful out there guys...

Big turbo one day, maybe when my wallet contains more than just moths lol

Tight? Fiddly? It'd be easier fisting a duck XD idd

Cheers tuffty I had a serious look at it but thought it's going to be such a ball ache of a job to make it fit for not that much saving, so I just gave in and ordered the forge one lol oh well wellycooler here I come

Hey guys just a quick one does the a3 Quattro use the same MAP sensor as the s3 and if so when fitting a fmic could I use a modified/cut down s3 pipe instead of getting one from forge as the forge ones are 4 times the price. Thanks guys

I fitted mine without a heat shield because from what I've researched on our engines it makes naff all difference, I just cable tied the little prong on the end to the loop for the standard air box
